This week there were a lot of rumors that the WhiteHouse's Newsweek tirade was a diversion from something else they expected to break.

This story is it.

The New York Times attained a copy of an investigation report of Afghanistan torture by the U.S.

By the way, watch the interactive as well.

Edit: interactive

I guess the NY Times is just making stuff up. Clearly the NY Times is going to be attacked for reporting the news.

They must just be angry liberals.

(I thought I'd give the standard response when anyone reports bad news.)

nonsense. there was only one fluke occurence of two or three
unrepresentative, criminal individuals who secretly engaged
in questionable behavior. everyone else is representing this
country abroad, sowing democracy, with honor, as well
trained, well supervised, educated God-fearing Christians.
Americans would never stoop to the disgusting level of our
enemies. if any one ever would try to sink to the level of
torture, their peers, not to mention their superiors, would
never tolerate that. and our government certainly would not
try to pile lies on top of it.

You do realize that to normal people (not neo cons) it is one of the most respected newspapers in the world?

I look forward to McClellan denyting this story and claiming that the NYT must somehow make amends.

Not anymore. It's readership has been dropping, and I suspect so has the confidence in it's reporting. It's NOT a reliable source of information. Never really was.

At least you're reliable for a laugh.

Who would have thunk that the neo-cons would automatically dismiss it? I sure didn't guess it.

Given our relationship with Afghanistan at the moment, coupled with the Muslim aversion to dogs...
